Must've been a frightening experience
Texts/calls don’t set the dogs off, which is why I don’t ring the doorbell/knock
The dogs are the doorbell!
I used to sneak up to one friends house and quietly scratch the door. Their dogs at the time used to love it. If I tried now the new dogs would eat me, door & all.
Nice to warn the dogs you're about to waltz in though
Hey man, Dogs can get arrival notifications when they start pitching in for rent
as if pets won't know you're on your way when you're 5 blocks away
But if no-one knocks or ring the bell then the dogs won't be conditioned to start barking.
Bingo!
What kind of conditioning do dogs get to perceive the doorbell as a threat anyway?
Seems like a dog should be able to handle things like doorbells and people. These are somewhat common things.
